5 Introduction With its system consisting of components for control, video, dimming and network MA Lighting has achieved not only a unique status on the market but has established a benchmark for these technologies too. Individually, each element is fully developed, powerful and extremely competitive. All of them are DMX compatible and thus can be used in stand-alone environments. However, as a complete system the MA components build a synergy that is absolutely unequalled. This is based on two sections – the grandMA2 lighting controls at the heart and the MA-Net2 as internal system language. Whereas the grandMA2 lighting controls are flexible multimedia controls, the system's MA-Net2 with enormous speed and capacity is responsible for the time synchronous and steady output of the widest data flow. Moreover the MA-Net2 enables the complete integration of software tools like grandMA 3D and grandMA2 onPC as well as the powerful hard- ware of the MA VPU (Video Processing Unit) and can also be used for bi-directional communication with the digital installation dimmer dimMA. Thus MA Lighting offers the only fully-integrated system on the market which is unrivalled. With the grandMA2 consoles, the MA VPU (Video Processing Unit), the MA NPU (Network Processing Unit), the MA NSP (Network Signal Processor) and the digital installation dimmer dimMA MA Lighting offers a fully integrated MA System that supplies optimal solutions for sophisticated projects with complex system requirements. All system components communicate via MA-Net2 (Ethernet). Because of this the different types of signals do not need to run on different systems. Next to the products and system elements, MA Lighting offers a variety of further renown products for control, dimming and DMX processing. They are all extremely reliable and many of them marked milestones. Among them is the Lightcommander series as well as the popular touring dimmers which are also available in a special wall-mount version.
